A method for producing natural rubber by using a recombinant microorganism is disclosed, the method comprising: (a) manufacturing an expression vector capable of expressing a gene encoding a cis-prenyltransferase, which is a guayule-derived natural rubber synthetase represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a Hevea brasiliensis-derived natural rubber synthetase represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, and an expression vector capable of expressing a gene coding for a natural rubber precursor synthetase; (b) transforming a host microorganism with the expression vector; (c) culturing the transformed host microorganism; and (d) separating natural rubber from the cultured transformed host microorganism. The natural rubber obtained by the method has a white powder form identical to that of natural rubber, and shows an FT-IR spectrum pattern extremely similar to that of natural rubber.
